Cool! And yes! That looks like a distinct extra color. That would be a Hybrid Popeye ... which is highly valued.

gorgeous!

P.s., the glowing lavender is from Fenton Burmese glass cullet.

Only three. I expected more. But I do have some 3/4" Jabos with similar-looking lavender which disappointed me by not glowing. But pretty is good.

Thanks, Alan. I was curious about how anyone would work with such tiny bits.

And to think last month I got giddy over hubby bringing me home a BB-sized clearie -- no color.

Ha! That would be EX Cit Ing! Itty bitty ones? Who made 'em?

Hmmm ... hard to say. I would look for cutlines and would look to see if the white seems to mostly connect those cutlines. But maybe it's just a clearie with a little stray white. Clearies weren't always perfectly uniform.

Large size can add value.

Uranium to give the green glow. Manganese and selenium are elements which can be associated with orange glow when used to color glass. Vitrolite cullet is responsible for some of the green glow in West Virginia swirls. Most of those look like WV swirls. The red white and blue one needs more views in regular light -- I'm thinking maybe Peltier there. UV glass goes back at least to the 1800s and continues to this century.

Akro sounds good.

Three of those pictures seem to show roughly the same portion of the marble. I say good chance of Akro.

I'm not currently seeing a pelt structure. Not sure what it is though.

That could have been sold in a Bloodies box.

I see now ... the editor was suggesting the stores hold marble games.

What promotional opportunity were the stores missing?

My guesses would be between Vitro Cat's Eye and Peltier. I'll go with Cat's Eye.

Is the white swirling? Or is it mostly straight? This could be a Master.

Probably Asian. AKA Imperial.

Top three on left, Marble King Rainbows. Middle row, first on the left is a Marble King Rainbow Red. The next two in that row are Vitro Tiger Eyes. On the bottom row, on the left, the usual guess for that is Vitro All-Red. Some chance that it's a lookalike from another manufacturer, but gotta go with the odds and say Vitro. And then modern MK on the brown and whites.

I'm trying to track down why I remember there being a 3-vane Vacor. But whether there is a Mexican version or only the Asian, I'm not aware of anyone ever considering the 3-vane cats as anything but "common" no matter how tinted or clear the base glass is.

I have a very strong memory of those ones at the top as being ones I might have had fun with in the late 1960's or early 1970's. Nevertheless, my ID for them is "modern, Asian, common". Even though some might be vintage, they were still being made well into the modern period and probably are still being made, so that's the ID. No luck trying to ID them by company.

Asian. Supposedly common.

I think that might be a pontil ... possibly with a little bit of finishing done to it? And there is that bit in the first picture would could have been a drizzle but could be a tail. I don't have a guess on which era or country it could have come from, but I'm leaning to some kind of handmade/transitional.

I suspect the top is an Akro milky oxblood. I think the reflections and focus are making the red look almost transparent but it looks like my oxblood pictures used to look like on my old camera.
